1 Table of Contents Dedication !1 Table of Contents Dedication This book is dedicated to 9/11 Family Members Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg, Patty Casazza and Kristen Breitweiser, collectively known as the "Jersey Girls" or the September Eleventh Advocates. They were the ones to really start the fight for the truth. If not for their efforts, there would never have been a 9/11 Commission, as corrupt and compromised as it was. That is a scary thought. They have fought continuously for many years (even if the corporate news have largely ignored their efforts). The media focused on their fight for the Commission, and followed the women during the Commission hearings; after the release of the 9/11 Report, and the "official story" was set in stone, the Jersey Girls' questions ceased to be addressed. Shame on the media for that. The Jersey Girls have spoken at conferences, participated in the 9/11 Congressional Briefing hosted by then Representative Cynthia McKinney, and have issued many incisive press releases over the years pertaining to 9/11. Three of the Jersey Girls appeared in a documentary entitled "9/11: Press For Truth" that attempted to bring attention to this issue, but was mostly ignored by the media. We would all be better off, if the world could hear what the Jersey Girls have to say. I want to thank the four of them (and Monica Gabrielle as well who is also a September Eleventh Advocate). You are my heroes, you have my absolute respect and gratitude. You are an inspiration. Thank you. !2 Table of Contents Introduction Hello, and thank you very much for getting this book. I was hoping my first book 9/11 Truther: The Fight for Peace, Justice and Accountability might change the world, but that never happened. I think I picked a bad title. If you would like a complimentary copy, feel free to email me at [email protected]. It would be good context for this book. On May 22, 2013, I broke my back. I am now partially paralyzed from the waist down, and am having quite a bit of difficulties, but I'm doing my best to cope. Even though I became disabled, I still cared deeply about this cause. Even in the hospital, I continued to make movies and provide updates for the Tour de Peace (a bicycle ride across the country for peace that Gold Star Mother and anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, myself, and others started). I am limited as to what I can do now, but I've done my best to post the news, write articles when inspired, talk on radio shows, and make informational videos. Cindy Sheehan had this idea to start what is called the "Soapbox People's Network." The idea was that other people would contribute articles and their shows to Cindy's site. She asked me if I wanted to do a show about 9/11. As it turns out, after 15+ years of advocating for 9/11 Justice, I've met some amazing people that know a lot about this issue. So, I agreed and instantly got started on the show. I did my best to interview the "best of the best." I refrained from having guests on for the sake of talking about their theories. There were many people I tried to contact to have on the show, such as John Farmer, Eleanor Hill, Dana Lesemann (RIP), but the guests I did manage to get were absolutely amazing. One day I was talking with Mickey Huff of Project Censored. I was bored being homebound, and he recommended I transcribe all of my interviews and make it into a book. I instantly thought that was a good idea. A lot of people have been asking me for transcripts of the shows. Also, many people like to read interviews rather than listen to them. So, here is that book. Thank you Mickey for the inspiration. !3 Table of Contents I also want to give a HUGE thanks to Michele Fergus who took the time to transcribe my shows, and to give me little smart ass notes along the way. I hope I wasn't too rough on you. :) You laid the foundation for something I would never be able to do and for that, I am forever grateful. You also are almost entirely responsible for the “Suggested Further Research” section, and I want to thank you for that as well. I also want to give a HUGE thanks to Scott Ford for designing the book cover. We fight like the true brothers that we are, but you always help to make me look good. I am forever grateful for that as well. I hope this book accomplishes what it was intended to do. That is to educate and to help set the historical record straight. Sure, there have been some new developments since these interviews took place, but they don't take away from anything that is said. I don't agree with everything everyone said during these interviews, but we're allowed to have disagreements without spewing hatred towards each other. Also, you will often hear me call people "hero" during these interviews. I have learned from personal experience that using that word causes a lot of pressure for the person you're trying to be nice to when using it. In my first book I said that I was a "Joe Schmoe American." I am. There is an expression "never meet your heroes." Your heroes will always let you down. Why? They are human beings just like you. They are capable of mistakes and everything else a human being is capable of if you can believe that (that's sarcasm). I also said in my first book "I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. I'm not a hero. I'm not a role model. I'm a regular, everyday person who's paying attention and trying to make a difference, and I'm just trying to do the right thing." That is also still true. Here's some advice... be your own hero. Have inspirations, but DO BETTER than your inspirations. Don't depend on one person to get the job done. Please. This book isn't about me. It's about us. Hopefully, this book will put this issue back on the table. Incidentally, if you want to listen to the shows, they are available here and on YouTube. I have also decided to give this book away for free because I feel like it's the right thing to do. I never did this work to keep it to myself. I don't want people to have to pay for the right to read this information, especially those who might not be able to afford it. I have no intention of profiting from 9/11. I have believed that selling a book or putting a value on it, meant that the person buying it might be more inclined to give it a try. I'm hoping instead that my documented time and !4 Table of Contents work for this cause helps in the value department. I'm going to have faith in word of mouth. I hope you really take the time to read it, digest what is in it, and recommend it to family, co-workers, and friends. I edited this book myself. I took out a lot of "you know's," and some stammering, and added "to," "a," "is," to places it needed it to make it more readable, and things like that. Everyone has their own way of speaking, so I tried to leave some of the "you know's," and "like's" in the text. I did, however, leave my "and so on and so forth's" there. ;) I could never thank the people that allowed me to interview them enough. They all have tremendous things to say, and I hope you do your best to take it all in. To those journalists who consider themselves alternative press, but don't incorporate the fact that we were lied to about 9/11, or don't know the truth about 9/11 into whatever Post-9/11 related story they report about, I have this to say… you are helping to create an extremely dangerous environment. History is being written, and it's simply the wrong history. Please reconsider your stance on the issue of 9/11. Thank you. "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word." Dr. Martin Luther King We Were LIED To About 9/11: The Interviews By Jon Gold !5 Table of Contents Testimonials "Jon Gold has spent countless hours researching the events of September 11, 2001. As a result, he has a wealth of information regarding the events surrounding the attacks. He has interviewed many informed sources with insights into what happened before, during and after 9/11, and this book is a compilation of those interviews. September 11, 2001 has been used as a rationale for torture, the Patriot Act, the Iraq war, and recently to justify a ban on travel from seven countries (none of which are the four countries that the 9/11 hijackers came from), and so much more. For anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the complexities of September 11th, this material should not be missed." - 9/11 Family Member Lorie Van Auken, Jersey Girl, September 11th Advocate "No one I know has worked harder to unravel the truth of the 9-11 attacks and to explain why it still matters than Jon Gold.

Instead of a disability, this mythologised autism is read as a valid and valuable poetic theological thinking. The thesis argues that a mythological autism could be envisioned as a trinity, analogous to the three-in-one Godhead of Christianity. This means that each facet of the mythological autistic trinity is indissoluble from the others, are all are equally autism. The first element is termed Mindfulness of Separation, and this entails absence and unknowing as has been conceptualised in Baron Cohen’s theory of Mindblindness.
